Prime Minister Mark Carney has issued a new mandate letter to his cabinet, outlining crucial changes to Canada’s immigration policy. The directive focuses on two main objectives: reducing immigration to sustainable levels and attracting top global talent to strengthen the Canadian economy. This strategic shift aims to stabilize permanent resident admissions at below 1% of Canada’s population annually post-2027, with targets set at 395,000 for 2025, decreasing to 365,000 by 2027. The initiative includes enhancing the Global Skills Strategy program and improving foreign credential recognition to facilitate skilled worker integration.
